2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new
creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
Lara Spencer on GMA loves to take flea market finds and
rework them into something beautiful. I
think that’s a great idea. We are too
quick to cast things off that still could have a useful life for someone. Last week I rescued two nice crates from
someone’s trash pile. We needed more
storage for past newsletters and bulletins in the office and these will fit
nicely in our cabinets. We throw people away, too. Not literally, but we write
them off because of some failure, because of our failure to see the good that
might still lie within them. We all fail
at times, there are just different degrees of failure. The good news is that Christ is greater than
all our failures and that through Christ we can become renewed and even better than
before. Christ is also in the trash to
treasures business for which I am very thankful.
Thank you Jesus, for giving us the opportunity to become new
people. We don’t always live up to our
own expectations, much less the expectations of others. Yet we know that your
love and care for us is unfailing. We
praise your name, and put our trust in you. Amen.
Blessings,
Paige
